The classical Linnik problems are concerned with the equidistribution of adelic torus orbits on the homogeneous spaces attached to inner forms of GL2, as the discriminant of the torus gets large. When specialized, these problems admit beautiful...

Homological mirror symmetry predicts that the derived category of coherent sheaves on a curve has a symplectic counterpart as the Fukaya category of a mirror space. However, with the exception of elliptic curves, this mirror is usually a symplectic...

Epidemiological forecasting is critically needed for decision making by national and local governments, public health officials, healthcare institutions and the general public. The Delphi group at Carnegie Mellon University was founded in 2012 to...

We describe a new method to study Eisenstein family and Iwasawa theory on unitary groups over totally real fields of general signatures. As a consequence we prove that if the central L-value of a cuspidal eigenform on the unitary group twisted by a...

In deep generative models, the latent variable is generated by a time-inhomogeneous Markov chain, where at each time step we pass the current state through a parametric nonlinear map, such as a feedforward neural net, and add a small independent...

We prove a sharp square function estimate for the cone in R^3 and consequently the local smoothing conjecture for the wave equation in 2+1 dimensions. The proof uses induction on scales and an incidence estimate for points and tubes. This is joint...

Linear dynamical systems are a continuous subclass of reinforcement learning models that are widely used in robotics, finance, engineering, and meteorology. Classical control, since the work of Kalman, has focused on dynamics with Gaussian i.i.d...

This talk beings with a light introduction, including some historical anecdotes to motivate the development of this Floer theoretic machinery for contact manifolds some 25 years ago. I will discuss joint work with Hutchings which constructs...

AlphaZero learns to play go, chess and shogi at a superhuman level through self play given only the rules of the game. This raises the question of whether a similar thing could be done for mathematics --- a MathZero. MathZero would require a formal...

We will investigate the geometry of the p-adic eigencurve at classical points where the Galois representation is locally trivial at p, and will give applications to Iwasawa and Hida theories.
